Our Water Works and Water.

TO Cl6 clardCIoT Ol Iuc WdlcI tuO Citi-
zens of our place now have to use, and
as to the management of the Water
Works, are 80 numerous and strong
that public attention should be called
to them. AS to the water itself, for
some time past it has been unfit for
use, in our houses, either to drink, to
cook or to wash with. The least
rain appears to color and dirty it to
this extent. Should this state of
affairs be longer endured? The
Company is bound in law to give pure
water and enough of it. But recently
we have been told that it is scarce,
and cautioned not to use it for sprink-
ling the streets or other purposes.
This, with the fact that it is SO unfit
for near all other purposes, have
caused the people, who pay well and
high for it, to inquire if there is no
remedy? 1t is the duty of the Com
pany to furnish the water they are
obligated to, and it is our right to
have it. 1t is said the water at the
works on the creek is not filtered as
it should be. And better and larger
supply of it, it is said, could easily
be procured by the Company sinking
some wells on the creek and making
other improvements that they should
make. Will this be done? And if
not what should our people do?
A., 20 tba no ain auan worco rpn0rt 8
come. 1t is reported that boys bathe
in it and even dogs are seen to swim
in it. Dead fish we know have been
found in the pipes.
Our purpose is to call attention to
these complaints SO that some remedy
NAV be devised. A CITIZEN.

For Obtaining the Bonds Wanted In
der the Circular Call.
The offering Of bonds to the government
took a squirt yesterday and aggregated
81, 200, Of which Sl,G57, 100 were ~ per
cents. and ss7, 100 were per cents, making
the total to date $l2 2,O79,650. The increased
offerings encouraged treasury officials to
the belief that the balance of the Sl4 900, 900
required for the sinking fund will be OBJ
tanned within the next two days, Oue
official explained yesterdays heavy offer
ipgs by saying that the bondholders are
fearful that by continuing to hold their
bonds they may endanger their chances OF
disposiDg OF them at rates as favorable as
those now offered by the government.
Some who held back for au advance are
now, he said, offering their bonds under
the conviction that they will not be able to
secure better terms.
OF the money paid out for bonds yester
day 81, ,46l 900 was paid at New York, $lj0,.
at Boston, 100000 at Philadelphia, aud
$l13,200 at Washington, Among the letter
received by Secretary Fairchiid was Que
from q person, whose name is withheld,
offering TO sell S3000,000 United States
bonds to the COVE nmeut at 81 10, anG
threatening to sue the Secretary for dan

pIate-Printed Newspapers.

The country newspaper OF to-day Is a
very different affair from what II was q few
years ago. The first iDuovatio upon the
publication Of the country papers at home
was "the patent outside"-that Is, paper
published one half in Chicago or some other
city and the remainder In the town where
it claimed to be issued.
These "patent outsldes" were furnished
to the owner of the country paper as
chesply as he could buy the white paper on
which he had been In the habit Of printing
his newspaper. They saved him half the
cost Of publication and great deal OF labor
in preparing matter for the printer. But
the "pt tent outside" was not q country
newspaper. 1t could not In its limited space
give either the news or the advertisement
its patrons wanted, and they were getting
into dsfavor, when new device W
started.
This is the plate printed matter
One or more establishments in the country
are making plates of various lengths aud
widths to fit the columns of the country
papers, which contain, as a rule, some
inane reading matter, and the papers are
DuNlnP IneUn lnelehu Ol htlccIlup lrOul Olu IT
papers suitable extracts or giving the let
tiers and views of the people OF the neigh
borhood.
There may possibly be little saving
made, both in the cost and labor Of issuing
q newspaper by using these plates, but the
paper loses In influence and standing more
than It gains in money and ease The coun-
try paper before the advent OF these de-
vices was power in the section where 1t
was printed. Properly edited, as most of
them were, 1t not only gave the news OF
the day and the week, but also gave the
opinions OF prominent men iu the neigh
borhood, either in communications or
Though other methods, with extracts from
the leading papers OF the country. Now
1t prints in these plates matter OF no possl-
bic interest to Its readers
The country paper should go back to the
primitive methods. 1t may cost more to
"set up" the paper at home, but 1t will be
better paper-one that its readers will
appreciate more highly and that Will mould
public opinion as in former times.

A LARGE number of gentlemen, who are
members Of the Republican party, met last
night and took the initiative steps toward
forming q National Republican Club having
most Of the features OF the Union League
Clubs Of New York and Philadelphia. Such
a club is needed here more than anywhere
else, as a place where the Republican mem-
bers Of Congress and other leading Repub-
licans who visit the capital can meet in the
freedom of social intercourse aud exchange
views, and where the Republicans Of the
capital can meet with them. The Democrats
have such place now, and the Republicans
will have one.
